Introduction
The information that is contained in the GCSE ICT Companion 04 can be printed and photocopied subject to the terms set out in the Licence Agreement.

To select an option simply click on the option number or description. The standard print dialogue box will appear.
Warning! :Most of the booklets are very large documents. Make sure that you really want to print a booklet before selecting the appropriate option. For photocopying purposes we recommend that they are reduced in size so that two pages are duplicated onto each side of A4 paper. Some printers will let you print several pages on one sheet of paper. Click on the Properties button in the standard print dialogue box to see if your printer supports this feature.
Page Number Estimates
The estimate of the number of pages that a document will print on is based on printing on A4 paper in portrait format. The actual number of pages printed may vary slightly depending on factors such as :
If the ICT Companion consistently produces printouts that take up more pages than the estimates suggest then try reducing the size of the margins around the page.
